Ben Yedder targets European football with Monaco following move from Sevilla

Wissam Ben Yedder is determined to help Monaco qualify for European football again after taking the “hard” decision to leave Sevilla.

The France forward signed a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 side last week as part of a deal that saw Rony Lopes move in the opposite direction.

After scoring 38 LaLiga goals during his three seasons with Sevilla, the former Toulouse player had been linked with a move to Spanish champions Barcelona and also Premier League side Manchester United during the close season.

Ben Yedder has instead returned to French football with Monaco – and he is not concerned about last season’s successful battle to avoid relegation, insisting Monaco’s struggles were an “anomaly”.
